MTG Salvation

All about creatures, ETB effect, bounce, and polymorph effect. Really fun to play, and thx to gatecrash, a nice fish in the command zone!

Maybe you could slightly modify the mana base and use Maelstrom Wanderer as a general. He goes with your big-guys theme and likes being replayed over and over. I'm not suggesting actually playing any red cards, you can keep the deck blue/green.

I don't see Wonder doing you all that much good... a lot of your big finisher creatures already have some sort of evasion, and you don't have any way to reliably get it into your graveyard in the first place. It's not really serving the deck well as far as I can tell.

whaaa? no akromas memorial with all that fatness in the air??? beastmaster ascention would be funny in there too. beefyness added to beefy. oh ya overgrown battlement to boost mana development, goes well with some of the defenders you already have. dramatic entrance would be funny in here. ur attacking with a fattie?? poof have fattie to block.

@ rogue: Akroma's Memorial is a really good idea, the haste thing will be more than helpfull after a Mass Polymorph or a Genesis Wave thx for the idea!

@luminous: wonder was there to give flying, its usefull when Stormtide Leviathan on the board, but didnt really like it...Im gonna replace it with Akroma 's Memorial, that gonna be much better.

@Hunding: Ive first wanted to build this deck with Animar at the helm, but really, really dont like the UGR color mix. The Wanderer would probably work as well, and maybe better than Animar, and i have all the dual i need to alter the manabase, but still... I think i really want to keep this one pure UG.

thx


Also, what do you think of Sages of the Anima? I really like the card, and feel like it would fit in the deck, im just not sure how i could manage it...

Keep in mind that you can still run Wanderer while keeping the deck mostly UG. He only costs 1 R, so a mere splash is enough to cast him. Swap 2-3 basics for mountains and maybe one R/X dual and that's all you'd to do. Command Tower is already there.
Having red would also let you run Fervor and Anger, good budget replacements/comlements to Memorial as haste enablers. I'm a huge GUR fan, though, so you may want to take my arguments in its favor lightly.
...
Either way, there's a possibly subpar choices in your list. Sakura-Tribe Elder is usually better than Gatecreeper Vine, even though it can't be reused with Erratic Portal and Sunken Hope. Swiftfoot Boots is a worse Ring of Evos Isle, at least until you get more uses for its +1/+1 counters than Glen Elendra.

@Solemn: i know it would be quite easy to splash some red in it, but i dont think im gonna go for it, even if it would make the deck better.

The ring and the Creeper are just there for the flavor, Wood Elves would be lot better than the Creeper, and would fit, ill probably end up swaping it. But the Sakura, even if I really like it, dont have an enter-the-battlefield effect im searching for this deck.
As for the ring, the boots could easy replace it like you said. I have a spare lightning greaves somewhere... I had also the Neurok Stealthsuit in mind for replacement...

thx

krosan cloudscraper, krosan colossus,avatar of might, canopy dragon for added fatness? elvish hearder would give some of your beef trample. genesis and geae's blessing would give you graveyard manipulation

i like abundance better than sages imo. it goes well with sylvan library. sages could be nice but sometimes you just need that non creature card to get you powered up and go alphastrike.

@rogue: i like the Krosan Cloudscraper and Colossus, ill check to fit one or the other.

As for the sage, ill give it a try, maybe with the bounce effect i have already in the deck i would be able to manage it.

Being honest, besides Genesis, none of those creatures is exactly good. Fat? Yes, but french vanilla.
Moldgraf Monstrosity, Garruk's Horde, Paleoloth and Sphinx of Lost Truths are a few fatties I've run in my fatty-based Intet deck, and they've all given me pretty good results. A few token producers like Avenger of Zendikar and Hornet Queen would support your blink strategy and your Mass Polymorph. Brawn is a better trample enabler than Elvish Herder, too.

Avenger of Zendikar is not in this list cause i only have one, and its in my daughter's deck but i have to say it would be extremely effective in this deck. Ill try to find another one and fit it in, thx.
The Queen i really dont like, its way too much mana for so little body, even with deathtouch.

The Cloudscaper was interesting being soo huge, i may give it a try anyway, will see.

thx

update on the decklist after some more playing

out
- forbid
- Voidslime
- Patagia Viper
- Momentous Fall

in

+ Eureka
+ Kederekt Leviathan
+ Recurring Insight
+ Constant Mists

Put back in Momentous Fall, and got my hands on a Worldspine Wurm...

Ive update the list, the deck is exactly as i play it last weekend, and it did incredibly well. Its still slow, but not as much as it was.

remove rite of replication, wanted something new, so add skittering invasion and seems that this is not as useless as i first though. will probably stay in for a while.

Still open to idea to refine the list! (would like to replace my Archmage, she s my last counterspell and i want to take it out) edit: Archmage out, replace by treasure mage acting as another Akroma memorial...


edit: and btw, lost my Kraj somewhere, needed a commander to put in the zone and didnt have any with me, so one of my friend gave me a Rubinia, and I decide she s the one for now until Gatecrash! dont want any white card in, the only thing im prepare to do for her is to add a Savannah...

Y U NO ULAMOG?


Just sayin.

New addition to the deck, Summoning Trap

Want to replace the Darksteel Colossus with something organic, the guy just dont fit in...

Artisan of Kozilek may be a plane-devouring horror made flesh, but it's still pretty much organic.
Since you already have Archaeomancer/Eternal Witness and Sunken Hope in there, why not adding an extra-turn spell for a possible infinite combo?

No infinite turn in this deck, anyway, ive never felt the need for it yet:)

I think ill indeed include the artisan... ive also think about the spawnsire, the eldrazi-spawn token production can be interesting.

thx!

did a couple of minor update with Gatecrash release... have yet to test some of them.

but the best of it, is that i finally got a commander! And she just fit so well in, its great.
